***Finally Mapping the Soft Key to Start Menu ****
This is the way to do it without installing a new menu.

I was gonna make a vb.net command line utility but theres already one out there
MortRunner

http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/mortrunner.shtml

It doesnt run in memory. all it does is send Commands. so i sent a Click to the upper left corner and it opened the start menu.

All you do is make a file

Called StartMenu.mortrun

in it you write

MouseClick 0,0

and you just point to the StartMenu.mortrun in the registry and wolla.

For some reason I can set <StartMenu> as an option for my buttons (eg. I mapped it to the VoiceRecord button on the side from the following menu:

Start --> Settings --> Buttons

It just came preconfigured like that.

I have a T-mobile MDA Vario from the UK, just received it yesterday.

Good work MacGyver! Mortrunner really is a powerful tool.

VbGuru,

I can map it to any key I want. I can put it to the left side key (CommManager) or either one of the top ones (say the left one which is mapped to Messages by default) using START--> Settings --> Buttons.

The only place I can't map it to is the bottom two buttons (on top of the D-pad)

I created a file in Word and named it StartMenu.mortrun

Went into my reg editor and modified the open file under the 112 key and put in StartMenu.mortrun

When I click the left button, nothing happens.

Do I need clarify exactly where the file is?

A soft reset should do the trick.

no soft-reset needed

I created a file in Word and named it StartMenu.mortrun

Went into my reg editor and modified the open file under the 112 key and put in StartMenu.mortrun ---- You need the Full Path

also did you run mortrunner ?? you have to run it so wizard knows what the extension .mortrun is

When I click the left button, nothing happens.

Do I need clarify exactly where the file is?

I've modified the left button a couple of times, and each time my 9100 required a soft reset before the new function would work. The name would change (if I changed it), but the function wasn't recognized until after resetting.

Yes, you need to give it the full path to the filename, with quotes.
